Why is there no sticky in this forum?

This forum needs a template for all "what school should I go to" questions. It's excruciating to have to read through paragraphs of drivel to get to the pertinent information in an OP. And even worse, most people don't even post all the info necessary to give advice, so posters have to drag it out of them, question-by-question.

TOPIC: School A (cost of attendance, see below) vs. School B (COA) vs. School C (COA)
POST:
LSAT
GPA
Undergrad and major
Whether you are K-JD or working or nontrad
Pre-LS debt
Cost of attendance at each school. NOT scholarship, NOT "$$$" vs. "$$," NOT anything else. How much will you pay per year at each school?
Cities/regions you want to work in post-graduation, ranked in your order of preference
Cities/regions where you have connections and what those connections are (family, undergrad, grew up there, whatever)
Etc.

This would make reading this forum a happier experience and would get more advice to more posters/applicants.

Not doing this indicates an inability to identify what facts are relevant. TCR for those people is don't go to law school.

Or fear of outing oneself may be a factor. Just a thought.

Then don't expect reasoned responses; it's impossible to provide them without dollar figures. Fudge a little if you must.
